Finally, the time has come!

Vaporum: Lockdown, prequel to our beloved Vaporum, is out on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One now!

Get it here:

The game improves on everything that made the original Vaporum good, plus a host of new features and quality-of-life upgrades.

Just to name a few:

  • New storyline following a female protagonist, Ellie Teller.
  • Brand new levels.
  • New enemy types with unconventional attack patterns that will challenge your wits & reflexes.
  • New weapon & armor types for even more build options.
  • Lots of synergies to find. We created many new unique weapons & armor pieces and a few new circuits, all with synergy-building in mind.
  • A host of new puzzles and a special optional level with extra-tough puzzles to challenge your brain.
  • More voice-overs and a deeper look into the lore and story of the world of Vaporum.
  • Heavily optimized for consoles with much improved performance.
  • Much streamlined controls (including much improved controller support).

Even though the game takes place in the same tower, the storyline is completely new. Follow a new protagonist and find out what happened before the events in Vaporum. Ellie Teller, a teleporter scientist, must face her own past and find a way to escape the place.

 

As with the Switch release, we ported the game and are publishing it ourselves. And it was quite a journey!

We are grateful for all our fans who supported us and we hope you will enjoy the game on your home consoles. All in all, Lockdown is now available on:

Thank you and enjoy! 🙂

Switch was like a second home to Vaporum (our first game), so it should be no surprise that the first console release of our next game, Vaporum: Lockdown, is landing on the Nintendo Switch. We learned a lot bringing the first Vaporum game onto the console, and this time, we decided to port the game ourselves. For a small team like ours, releasing the game on the console has been quite the experience. We hope you will enjoy the game!  

You can get Vaporum: Lockdown right now on: Nintendo eShop (US), Nintendo eShop (EU), Nintendo eShop (JP)
